The ceremony was attended by few from the sports fraternity and many missed it. India’s two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar was also a part of the grand wedding ceremony. The list of invitees also included fellow Rio Olympics medallist (silver) PV Sindhu, but she could not be a part of the wedding as she was playing her India Open final in the capital on Sunday. Many others were invited for the wedding. However, only a handful guests turned up for Sakshi’s big day.
